Priorities for Future Research

The White-throated Antpitta is at least locally fairly common, but it has a restricted distribution and, as is typical of Grallaria antpittas, it occupies dense habitats and is very difficult to observe (3 Ridgely, R. S., and G. Tudor (1994). The Birds of South America. Volume 2. University of Texas Press, Austin, Texas, USA. Close ). Consequently, most aspects of its natural history are very poorly known. There is no information on its reproductive biology, and the diet is not known in any detail. There are no published data on topics such as territory or home range size, population density, age at first breeding, life span and survivorship, dispersal, population regulation, molts, and sexual behavior for the White-throated Antpitta (4 Greeney, H. F. (2018). Antpittas and Gnateaters. Christopher Helm, London, UK. Close ). In sum, let's get out there and study this bird!
